From the smallest Perenco Victor platform to the largest ShellBrent platforms, decommissioning in the North Sea will range from as few as 3 years to 20+ years.
We expect at least 140 fields will cease production over the next 5 years, with a total of £55 billion (real terms) to be spent on decommissioning the UK Continental Shelf. With as many as 50 fields forecast to cease in 2016 alone, will new investment materialise or will the North Sea enter a new decommissioning phase?

The Brent oil and gas field, operated by Shell, lies off the north-east coast of Scotland, midway between the Shetland Islands and Norway. It is one of the largest fields in the North Sea and is served by four large platforms. It has been a cornerstone of the UK's hugely successful oil and gas industry for 40 years. Now the Brent field is reaching the stage where almost all the available reserves of oil and gas have been retrieved. The next step in the lifecycle is to decommission Brent’s four platforms and their related infrastructure. As the operator, Shell is required to submit a decommissioning programme to the Department for Business, Energy and IndustrialStrategy with detailed recommendations for closing down and making safe the four platforms and subsea infrastructure of the Brent field. Ten years of research, engineering studies, expert input, consultations and scientific assessments have gone into this process.

A fixed platform is a type of offshore platform used for the production of oil or gas. These platforms are built on concrete and/or steel legs anchored directly onto the seabed, supporting a deck with space for drilling rigs, production facilities and crew quarters. Such platforms are, by virtue of their immobility, designed for very long term use. Various types of structure are used, steel jacket, concrete caisson, floating steel and even floating concrete. Steel jackets are vertical sections made of tubular steel members, and are usually piled into the seabed. Concrete caisson structures, pioneered by the Condeep concept, often have in-built oil storage in tanks below the sea surface and these tanks were often used as a flotation capability, allowing them to be built close to shore (Norwegian fjords and Scottish firths are popular because they are sheltered and deep enough) and then floated to their final position where they are sunk to the seabed. Fixed platforms are economically feasible for installation in water depths up to about 1,700 feet (520 m).

Politics

Royal Dutch Shell

Royal Dutch Shell plc (LSE:RDSA, RDSB), commonly known as Shell, is an Anglo–Dutchmultinationaloil and gas company headquartered in the Netherlands and incorporated in the United Kingdom. Created by the merger of Royal Dutch Petroleum and UK-based Shell Transport & Trading, it is the fourth largest company in the world as of 2014, in terms of revenue, and one of the six oil and gas "supermajors".

Shell corporation

A shell corporation is a company which serves as a vehicle for business transactions without itself having any significant assets or operations. Some shell companies may have had operations, but those may have shrunk due to unfavorable market conditions or company mismanagement. A shell corporation may also arise when a company's operations have been wound up, for example following a takeover, but the “shell” of the original company continues to exist.

Shell companies can also be used for tax avoidance. A classic tax avoidance operation is based on the buying and selling through tax haven shell companies to disguise true profits. The firm does its international operations through this shell corporation, thus not having to report to its country the sums involved, avoiding any taxes.

CLI shells allow some operations to be performed faster in some situations, especially when a proper GUI has not been or cannot be created. However, they require the user to memorize commands and their calling syntax, and also to learn the shell-specific scripting language, for example bash script. CLIs are also easier to be operated via refreshable braille display and provide certain advantages to screen readers.

Dale Power

Power held the best singles Davis Cup record by winning percentage (6–2) of any Canadian player. Power also has the distinction of having played in the longest set in Davis Cup history, a second set that was won by Colombian Álvaro Betancourt 24-22 in a match won by Power in 5 sets in a 1976 tie.

Power was the top-ranked player in Canada for 10 of 12 years, winning the Canadian Closed Championship for singles 7 times. He failed however to win a single top-tier (grand prix) professional tour match, going 0-11. His highest singles ranking was World No. 210, achieved in June, 1976.

In August 2006 Power was inducted into the Canadian Tennis Hall of Fame.

Power was also a skilled hockey player, and was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 1969, before deciding to concentrate exclusively on his tennis career. Leaving hockey a year later for four years, he returned for the 1974-75 season to play for the Fort Wayne Komets leading the team in scoring with 29 goals and a total of 78 pts. Only after a knee injury did he decide to return full-time to tennis.

Shell UK - The Decommissioning Project | Case Study

Shell UK - The Decommissioning Project | Case Study

Shell UK - The Decommissioning Project | Case Study

Over the next 40 years the North Sea will witness the large-scale decommissioning of mature oil platforms which have either passed or are approaching their life expectancy.
The BrentField is an oil and gas field located in the East Shetland Basin of the North Sea and is operated by Shell UKLimited. At its peak this offshore asset produced enough energy to run half the UK’s homes. Now with almost all its recoverable oil and gas reserves depleted, the Brent Field is being prepared for decommissioning.
The oil and gas platforms are powered by fuel gas but once decommissioning is underway this supply will cease and an alternative reliable power source will be required to complete the project.
Shell UK approached Dale Power Solutions with a challenging brief; to develop a compact, fuel-efficient and reliable diesel fueled generator to provide power to the Brent Charlie platform during the decommissioning phase of the project.
With a reputation for manufacturing generators with an excellent power to size ratio, Dale Power Solutions was ideally suited for the project.
Dale Power Solutions designed and built a GeneratorUnit which solved two major challenges. Firstly, the platform crane was limited to 12 tonnes lifting weight. Secondly the space allocation on the platform for each generator module was restricted to 7.5 metres by 2.5 metres.
The project team developed a revolutionary modular design. The major components could be dismantled and packed in a way that would satisfy the weight and size limitations of the transportation and lifting equipment whilst ensuring that the unit could be conveniently rebuilt on the platform.
As a part of Dale Power Solutions’ Quality AssuranceProgramme and to thoroughly map this process, the dismantling of the units was filmed and photographed at the factory to help inform the rebuild on the platform.

A fixed platform is a type of offshore platform used for the production of oil or gas. These platforms are built on concrete and/or steel legs anchored directly onto the seabed, supporting a deck with space for drilling rigs, production facilities and crew quarters. Such platforms are, by virtue of their immobility, designed for very long term use. Various types of structure are used, steel jacket, concrete caisson, floating steel and even floating concrete. Steel jackets are vertical sections made of tubular steel members, and are usually piled into the seabed. Concrete caisson structures, pioneered by the Condeep concept, often have in-built oil storage in tanks below the sea surface and these tanks were often used as a flotation capability, allowing them to be built close to shore (Norwegian fjords and Scottish firths are popular because they are sheltered and deep enough) and then floated to their final position where they are sunk to the seabed. Fixed platforms are economically feasible for installation in water depths up to about 1,700 feet (520 m).

Over the next 40 years the North Sea will witness the large-scale decommissioning of mature oil platforms which have either passed or are approaching their life expectancy.
The BrentField is an oil and gas field located in the East Shetland Basin of the North Sea and is operated by Shell UKLimited. At its peak this offshore asset produced enough energy to run half the UK’s homes. Now with almost all its recoverable oil and gas reserves depleted, the Brent Field is being prepared for decommissioning.
The oil and gas platforms are powered by fuel gas but once decommissioning is underway this supply will cease and an alternative reliable power source will be required to complete the project.
Shell UK approached Dale Power Solutions with a challenging brief; to develop a compact, fuel-efficient and reliable diesel fueled generator to provide power to the Brent Charlie platform during the decommissioning phase of the project.
With a reputation for manufacturing generators with an excellent power to size ratio, Dale Power Solutions was ideally suited for the project.
Dale Power Solutions designed and built a GeneratorUnit which solved two major challenges. Firstly, the platform crane was limited to 12 tonnes lifting weight. Secondly the space allocation on the platform for each generator module was restricted to 7.5 metres by 2.5 metres.
The project team developed a revolutionary modular design. The major components could be dismantled and packed in a way that would satisfy the weight and size limitations of the transportation and lifting equipment whilst ensuring that the unit could be conveniently rebuilt on the platform.
As a part of Dale Power Solutions’ Quality AssuranceProgramme and to thoroughly map this process, the dismantling of the units was filmed and photographed at the factory to help inform the rebuild on the platform.

SapuraAcergy - Iwaki Platform Decommissioning Animation

The IwakiPlatform is located approximately 40km east of Nahara Cho in the Fukushima prefecture of Japan, and was installed in 1983 after the Iwaki GasField was discovered in 1973.
The decommissioning of the platform was awarded to Nippon SteelEngineering Co Ltd, and subsequently SapuraAcergy Sdn Bhd was awarded the offshore scope of work which included the decommissioning of the topsides, jacket, and associated secion 12" gas export pipeline. This work was executed using the Sapura 3000 vessel and was completed in early 2010.
SapuraAcergy Sdn Bhd requested the assistance of Constructive Media to assist with creating a 3D animation that re-enacted the decommissioning process of the Iwaki Platform.

Decommissioning in the North Sea

From the smallest Perenco Victor platform to the largest ShellBrent platforms, decommissioning in the North Sea will range from as few as 3 years to 20+ years.
We expect at least 140 fields will cease production over the next 5 years, with a total of £55 billion (real terms) to be spent on decommissioning the UK Continental Shelf. With as many as 50 fields forecast to cease in 2016 alone, will new investment materialise or will the North Sea enter a new decommissioning phase?

How to Decommission Brent

The Brent oil and gas field, operated by Shell, lies off the north-east coast of Scotland, midway between the Shetland Islands and Norway. It is one of the largest fields in the North Sea and is served by four large platforms. It has been a cornerstone of the UK's hugely successful oil and gas industry for 40 years. Now the Brent field is reaching the stage where almost all the available reserves of oil and gas have been retrieved. The next step in the lifecycle is to decommission Brent’s four platforms and their related infrastructure. As the operator, Shell is required to submit a decommissioning programme to the Department for Business, Energy and IndustrialStrategy with detailed recommendations for closing down and making safe the four platforms and subsea infrastructure of the Brent field. Ten years of research, engineering studies, expert input, consultations and scientific assessments have gone into this process.

Gas Platform Decommissioning | Strip Down

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for more documentaries like this one.
A fixed platform is a type of offshore platform used for the production of oil or gas. These platforms are built on concrete and/or steel legs anchored directly onto the seabed, supporting a deck with space for drilling rigs, production facilities and crew quarters. Such platforms are, by virtue of their immobility, designed for very long term use. Various types of structure are used, steel jacket, concrete caisson, floating steel and even floating concrete. Steel jackets are vertical sections made of tubular steel members, and are usually piled into the seabed. Concrete caisson structures, pioneered by the Condeep concept, often have in-built oil storage in tanks below the sea surface and these tanks were often used as a flotation capability, allowing them to be built close to shore (Norwegian fjords and Scottish firths are popular because they are sheltered and deep enough) and then floated to their final position where they are sunk to the seabed. Fixed platforms are economically feasible for installation in water depths up to about 1,700 feet (520 m).
